Abstract
A racemic mixture of (R)- and (S)-1-nitro-2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)[2-3H1]ethane was synthesized from 1-nitro-2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)ethene by selective reduction of the olefin with sodium boro[3H]hydride. The nitroethene was obtained in one step by condensation of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde with nitromethane. The produced racemic mixture is to be used in studies regarding the involvement of 1-nitro-2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)ethane as intermediate in the biosynthesis of tyrosine-derived cyanogenic glucosides and glucosinolates.
